Before beginning any training session or competition, athletes need to be fully energized and hydrated. When both those needs are met, muscles are ready to work. About an hour before exercise, energize with a POWERBARR Performance bar, now recharged with POWERBARR C2 MAX optimized carbohydrate blend, a 2:1 ratio of glucose and fructose carbohydrate sources. The bars are also an effective option on those days when training starts very early in the morning and eating a pre workout meal just isnt realistic.
